I left last sunday afternoon for breckenridge to finish up a bunch of last minute work on my jeep and to help my friend aaron finish up some things on his comanche. We worked on both of our jeeps for about 8 hours, until midnight, then left his shop to get some sleep before we left in the morning. But I got pulled over less than a block after leaving the shop and i got a careless driving ticket for driving over a curb, that was fun, the cop threatened to take me to jail for having a "lifted vehicle" and not getting it inspected and registered as a lifted vehicle...apparently something thats "an arrestable offense". So the next morning we left breck and drove through the worst conditions ive ever driven through going up I70. There was 6-10" of snow on some spots of the highway, down to one lane in most spots, and was snowing so hard there was almost no visibility...it went on that way till we hit glenwood springs.
After getting into moab i had a very slight intermittent squeal coming from something in the front end, sounded kinda like a rock inbetween the dust shield and rotor or something like that. About a mile down the road i found out what the noise was, my front right wheel bearing had no grease in it and completely siezed up, ruining the hub and lock nuts on the spindle. Everything was completely siezed up and i couldnt even get the spindle nuts to break loose so i had to take the jeep to M4o and have them fix it for me.
I dropped the jeep off right before they closed monday evening, and picked it up at noon on tuesday....with my walled $533 lighter i was finally ready to do some wheeling lol!
We ran hells revenge with a few guys from breck, it was my jeep, aarons comanche, an xj on 35s with a rock jock 60 in the back with a detroit and a lunchbox locker up front in his d30, and a '13 rubicon with less than 5,000 miles on it.
Aaron got his truck a little hung up in the escalator on hells revenge
Hells revenge was pretty uneventful, it was fun because a bunch of the people with us had never done trails in moab before, and some of the people riding with us had never been offroading before so it was fun scaring them and showin em a good time! We all grilled out and drank beers till it started raining and then woke up to this...
We went into town for breakfast and met up with my friends that made it out from colorado springs, they all had sas toyota trucks.
Even though we got a little bit of a late start we decided to run the Poison Spider/Golden Spike/Gold Bar Rim trail loop
